Stimming should be normalized and shown to the world! ❤❤🎉🎉 As long as it's not hurting anyone (including yourself) keep stimming and living your life!
Stimming is nothing to be ashamed of ignore those people ❤
I'm uncomfortable with my own sons stimmimg in public. But I like that there are people like you who can normalize it for people like us.
Don't be uncomfortable, it's how our kids regulate. I encourage my son's stimming and it actually makes him laugh so hard and the stim lasts half as long. So by encouraging my son to get sensory input, it helps him so much and his behavior is way way better. ❤ I love it bc he does and I support him.
Don't be uncomfortable, if people are staring just take that time to educate. Unless it's biting then yes re direct to a chewy.
It's becoming more and more common and more you normalize it and go with the flow, other people will adjust! When I see parents act embarrassed or uncomfortable it makes me want to react the same way. If parents own it and act like it's "normal" then I and other follow suit! Hope that helps from an outside perspective ❤❤❤
Geez, I wouldn't have even addressed this. Imagine being non-verbal then having someone repress you physically as well. Shame on them. Thank God for parents like you and Hugo.
I didn’t even reply to them, just blocked but I did think it’s important to show how stimming is nothing to be ashamed of 💙
Don't hide anything. That person didn't hide their stupidity.

I used to be uneasy about my son stimming in public but I’ve come to see it as just a part of his regulation and who he is. I don’t try to hide it or stop him from doing it, if anything I feel it’s the beginning of the world accepting the differences. Everyone has their own opinion about it but I love my son completely stimming and all and I won’t let the opinion of someone else stop me from letting my son having his best happiest life.
I totally agree with you!! I let my son stim he needs that sense of release. At first I did not know how to deal with is but I have learned now.That is part of who he is and I love all the parts of him and who he is!! Love your channel!!!
There is nothing wrong with your child stimming In public or anywhere. This is what helps them to regulate their body /senses. My daughter stims and her “go to stim” is spinning. She loves to spin. We let her at home or when we are out and about . Of course we make sure she is safe and not hitting or getting in the way of others . Her therapists have told us to let her stim as long as she’s not a danger to herself or others.
I stim due to being blind and having autism. I do a lot of things due to being blind, and having autism. Especially constantly exploring things, that’s mainly due to blindness. People were very uncomfortable with me, constantly exploring my surroundings, and even stimming. I’ve been told to stop touching everything, to keep my hands to myself, and people have even been concerned with me, touching everything, and exploring everything.
That’s horrible! I’m sorry people made you feel uncomfortable for exploring the way you could. 💙
@@ROCKNSTIMS thank you so much. Nowadays, I’m trying not to restrict myself from exploring my surroundings, or doing other things that benefit my blindness or autism. I’m trying not to be ashamed, and just be myself. Everyone around me is telling me that I should, and that there’s no need to feel ashamed or sorry for it.
I don’t hide my son stimming, it is a part of him and his personality. Why hide it? Someone is always gonna complain about something. You can’t please everyone.
This is an autism channel so what’s the point of bringing awareness if you’re just gonna hide everything? I enjoy watching your journey because I relate so much.
Thank you for this video. I feel the same way and I don't stop my daughter either ❤️
My son stims also. He does the fidgeting,tapping and running back and forth and I let him do his own thing! I don’t stop him and it’s not harmful 😊
Bravo, mom. You are a loving and supportive parent. Yeah, stim for life!
You are the best mom 👩 keep it up what you are doing for your son.. ❤
Just keep stimming! 💛
My friend she have cerebral palsy like me and she getting married and she invited me to her wedding I’m so happy for her and her fiancé
Congrats to your friend! How exciting
Yes I’m excited for her
Love my sons stimming. Helps regulate himself and we laugh and if i encourage it and love it, its not as bad or as long. Always safely, but yes!! Stimm away love bug! I educate nicely if people are staring.
Love that! Me too, if people are staring in a ugly way I stare back in a mama bear way 🤨🤪
@@ROCKNSTIMSsame! my son is still small only 6 1/2 but looks about maybe 4...so people are USUALLY nice but some people can be a holes, especially when it's a doctors appointment and my son gets his phone (working on a communication device with speech) but he records movies he likes and songs like chuck berry and he will stim on it, like play 5 seconds and rewind and play the same 5 seconds over and over. People get annoyed but I'm like "oh you are annoyed after 3 mins? He did this the whole hour to this appointment I don't wanna hear it" lol 😅
That’s hilarious 😂
But yes usually people are nice when they are young. My sweet boy is 9 but looks 13 and people are way more aware of him and stare more often since he looks so much older.
@@ROCKNSTIMS you're son is so sweet and I'm so proud of his communication skills on the tablet! I'm praying for that day. No words still but about 2 months ago at speech he could press "book" until he got one...but they have kinda fallen off since kindergarten and are all mad at me bc I had to to put his nurse in her place advocating (small town...ugh) to feed him his 3 feeding tube feeds at school.... since then only his OT has been really cool..but everyone else except his new SPED teacher and paras too.. have been really rude even tho speech has known me and my mama bear and love for my child in developmental pre school for 2 years and I've always been kind to them. Advocating sometimes can really mess stuff up...
As my son ages, he is 4.5 years and non verbal still, very similar to christian. If he is happy stimming I am not going to stop him unless unsafe aswell. Public is for everyone including our babies!
Hi I just wanted to let you know that I play with my ears alot and people told me to stop but when explain to my therapists that I play with ears alot she understood me and reason why I play with my ears alot is because I have alot of anxiety and I would like to be calm
I understand about vibes with the care team....
You look pretty 😍
Thank you ☺️
Stimming is allowed in public as long as it is not dangerous or harmful. Stimming is ok to do in public.
Child exploitation in the name of awareness is definitely an issue. I do not see you doing this though. Stimming should never be seen as bad ecspecially if it’s not causing harm. You can’t and shouldn’t stop him from stimming but I do think being careful about what you share bc there are a lot of people out there that are sick and God forbid would”enjoy” seeing him stim. I know you are coming from a place of love and you respect your son.
Yes but Christian is non verbal he can’t say he doesn’t want to be recorded. My son is on the spectrum and can say and does say he doesn’t even want pictures. I question CZcamsrs broadcasting their children
Non verbal children still communicate their wants and if he was uncomfortable with the recording , his mom would know.
Non verbal is not non expressive.
There aren't great resources out there for us mom of kids on the far end of the spectrum. She's respectful of her kids and is amazing to see other moms doing this too. I rarely see anyone with a non verbal child that's anything like my baby. If she were out here trying to make bank on this it'd be difference but the information and honesty in this is important for parents. This is a lonely club and I for one super appreciate getting to see and hear from someone else who actually understands.
